3 Signs You Need a New Roof

Most homeowners puzzle over whether they need a new roof or roof repair and can't seem to come up with a conclusion. However, this is not such a mystery if you know what to look for. A roof that has too much going on, in terms of damage, is more than likely a roof that needs replacing. However, it's a good idea to know what to look for.

Shingles Curling & Buckling
Your shingles are a strong indicator of whether or not its time to replace your roof. If your shingles have begun to curl and buckle, particularly on the slopes of your roof, it may be a sign that your shingles have reached their life expectancy. Ripped, curling and flaking shingles should be replaced. If there are many areas of your roof that have deteriorating shingles failure to replace your roof could result in damage to the roof boards. However, it should be noted that sometimes curling and buckling shingles are a sign of a defective roof, but you'd need a Jacksonville roofing company to determine that.

Daylight through the Roof Boards
If you notice that your roof has scattered spongy or springy patches, the underlying decking may be deteriorating as a result of moisture. However, one way to know for sure is to go up to your attic to see if you can see daylight through the roof boards. You should also check your insulation for wet areas, this is a sign as well. If you find either condition, it's time for a new roof because this is a sign of leakage.

Shingles Missing in Roof Valleys
One extremely important area of your roof are the valleys. Valleys provide the pathways for rain and snow to flow into the gutter and away from the roof. If your shingles are missing in this area, deteriorating, or chipping away, you need a new roof. If you let this area go uncared for it could lead to roof leaks because these are the pathways where rain and snow will flow.

It's a good idea to know what to look for to determine if it's time to replace your roof. If you know, you can avoid damaging your home beyond its current condition. Look for soft spongy patches on your rooftop and inspect the condition of the shingles, particularly on the valleys of your roof. If these areas are in poor condition it's a strong indication that it's time to replace your roof.
